Directions
Tos the avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a food processor. Blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy. If the pudding feels too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until you get it just right. You can dig in immediately if you like it a bit softer, or pop it in the fridge to chill for a bit if you prefer it cold. Either way, it’s delicious and ready to enjoy!
Perfect Pairings
Serve in small bowls topped with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. A sprinkle of chopped nuts or a few mint leaves can add a nice contrast. This pudding also pairs well with a cup of hot coffee or tea.
How To Store Leftovers
Keep the pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Use an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing other odors. Before serving, give it a gentle stir to restore its smoothness.
